Step 4: Test Your Connection

If the menu isn’t showing (I suggested adding it, if you recall, in the
preceding section), do this:

Choose Apple > System Preferences, click Show All (if necessary), and
click the Network icon.

Select Bluetooth in the list of connection types in the Network
preferences pane (see Figure 10), and then click Connect.

Using the modem menu is a lot easier, don’t you think?

Figure 10 If you
didn’t enable the Modem menu, you’ll have to connect from within the
Network preferences pane.

While you’re connected, you should see connection status information in
the menu bar near the Modem menu (if it’s showing) or in the Network
preferences pane. When the connection has been established, the status area will
indicate the amount of time you have been connected (see Figures 11 and 12).

Figure 11 A timer
appears in the menu bar beside the Modem icon while you’re connected.

Figure 12 You can see
your connection status in the Bluetooth screen of the Network preferences
pane.
